Captain Supertooth Visits Schools and Liberty Science Center This Month

Children don't always eat right, brush or floss. But if they develop those habits now, they're more likely to enjoy good oral health long into adulthood.

That's why we brought Captain Supertooth to life. 

Captain Supertooth is a caped superhero who teaches kids how to fight against tartar, gingivitis and cavities. Each February during National Children's Dental Health Month, the Delta Dental Foundation sends him to schools throughout New Jersey and Connecticut to get students excited about oral health. 

Captain Supertooth will also appear at the Liberty Science Center on Sunday, February 24. (For museum directions and hours, visit its Web site at www.lsc.org.) 

Using a giant red toothbrush and the children as teeth, Captain Supertooth shows children how to brush and floss. He also talks about how a balanced diet and regular dental visits keep teeth healthy.

Teachers, school nurses and school administrators may add their schools to the waiting list for a Captain Supertooth program by sending an e-mail to jappaluccio@deltadentalnj.com. They may also request a free Captain Supertooth video or DVD for their schools by sending an e-mail to the same address.
